How to get bonus XP in Apex Legends

On August 16, the official Apex Legends Twitter account tweeted out about an upcoming bonus XP weekend, giving fans an extra opportunity to gather up Battle Pass levels. But there’s a catch…

In order to qualify for extra experience, players must place in the top five or win a match. Obviously this is no easy feat to accomplish, as only the best players of the match will reap the rewards.
